Planting Fun

I wanted to dress up my table. So I gathered some of my collections and grouped them together 

French pots,yellow ware, succulents, I am ready to go. 

It does make a pretty centerpiece 

Aren't the textures and color beautiful 

I used my yellow ware bowl to hold the dirt and my silver spoon to transfer. Living the life of luxury on the porch. 

My sweet french terra cotta pots are waiting for their plants

I got my plant and made sure to spread it out to separate it

White Ironstone plate to spread out the plants and dirt. 

A bit messy and I am covered with dirt. But I enjoyed getting all my favorite dishes out to play. 

I had to do a test run to make sure the pots we're going to work. They were a little wonky but is going to work. 

Now the Ferris wheel is all set up. 

This sweet garden needs a few more touches but I like the succulents with their green vines. I added my forks and will create some signs next. 

I had so much fun getting my iron pieces ready for the porch. I am enjoying my time getting the area all pretty.   What are you doing to your outdoor areas?

Red, white and blue

Happy 4th of July .  I am proud of my heritage and celebrate the freedom we have

I found these beautiful quilted creations at one of my favorite shops The Pink House in Asheville. 

My pitcher look so wonderful with the flowers

 Another corner of my room celebrating today is my pop of color with my vintage racing boat

 I even have a pop of Red, White and Blue in the kitchen

 I am getting the porch ready as well!

Stawberries, Blue Berries and a White Collander

I hope you day is full of fun.  Di

Joining my friends

Linen loved

 Do you love feed sacks like I do?  Not only was this a feed sack but it is blue and white!

 It has age, color and it was only $5. There is a repair that made my heart potter patter. 

 Isn't that just awesome?

Of course I just happened to hunt for one feed sack in particular...one with my maiden name. I saw one at a shop that was made into pillows. The pillows were $250 for the pair. Not in my budget!  Every once in awhile I will search on EBay and I found these, not one but two. 

 I put it in a vintage frame and am a very happy camper. 

 I took these sacks and made pillows for the porch. They are so comfortable. 

 My best project was finishing my chairs with sacks I collected. I painted the chairs with olde white and put Paris Grey on top. I then sanded and waxed with dark and clear. My good friend upholstered them. 

  I love my linens. I can't decide what to do with my new linens. Sharing with some fun blogs.  Di
